Do you own your own property or have landlords that might allow a weird idea - pitch a 6 man tent or screen house and fill it with a rocking chair, blanket pillow, whatever you want. I did that once when I was living with some friends and needed a place to just have some pease and quiet. they liked my idea so much that by the end of the summer my friends and I ended up putting up a gazebo and goldfish pond, a few potted plants and flowers and so on. The land lord was all for it because it added to the property value.
